Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Fwd: Idea/Suggestion to say goodbye to xcreensaver
I *thought* it was in lesser degree with LCD's. But turn off is such a turn off for some people (pun intended), but my prefered method (my Ubuntu does it as well).

It's arguably more efficient to just blank them than display a 'saver, although you run the risk of people thinking their PCs have crashed or are off. However, burn-in is not a historical problem. I have seen quite a few burned-in TFTs and as people don't think it happens any more, they're not taking precautions and it's on the rise. -- Liam Proven • Info & profile: http://www.google.com/profiles/lproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk • GMail/GoogleTalk/Orkut: lpro...@gmail.com Tel: +44 20-8685-0498 • Cell: +44 7939-087884 • Fax: + 44 870-9151419 AIM/Yahoo/Skype: liamproven • MSN: lpro...@hotmail.com • ICQ: 73187508 ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Hai Tim, I thought I replied to all, not just you. But it's like I said mainly for CRT screens.

[Lubuntu-desktop] Fwd: Idea/Suggestion to say goodbye to xcreensaver
Hey Chris, I'm forwarding this to the list for everyone to see. "But include it for those who want a CPU hogging screen beauty =P" > LOL, that's funny. I guess that's what I was thinking. But maybe most people wouldn't miss it anyway. If it does stay I would say disable it by default for sure. Tim -- Forwarded message -- From: Chris Date: Fri, Feb 25, 2011 at 9:15 AM Subject: Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Idea/Suggestion to say goodbye to xcreensaver To: Tim Bernhard Screensavers are for CRT monitors, to prevent in burning of pixels. To a lesser degree also LCD screens. Other then that I can't think of use-cases. But include it for those who want a CPU hogging screen beauty =P On Fri, Feb 25, 2011 at 14:48, Tim Bernhard wrote: > Wow, I'm really surprised that the screen saver can hit a CPU that hard. > I still think should be included as an option for those who want it, but > maybe people really don't use them anymore anyway.
